Nice News’ January 2024 Cause of the Month
Tax deductible
Nice News readers were incredibly generous in 2023 , and we can’t wait to see what you do in 2024. Our first Cause of the Month for this year is Feeding America — a charity that has become more essential than ever in the past several years.
The need for food banks sharply increased at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and, nearly four years later, the rates of hunger remain high. According to the nonprofit, 1 in 7 people, including 1 in 5 children, live in food insecure households in the United States.
To help, Feeding America’s strategy is threefold: Ensuring everyone can access the food they need via a nationwide network of over 200 food banks and 60,000 meal programs; working with lawmakers and advocating for policies that improve food security for everyone; and partnering with other organizations to address the root causes of the issue, like high cost of living and lack of access to affordable housing.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to Feeding America and its goal to create a country where no one is hungry. If you’d like to help in a more hands-on way, check out the organization’s food bank map to find a volunteer spot near you.
